Translucent slideshow Script question

[guytang]

1) Script Title: Translucent slideshow Script

2) Script URL (on DD): http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...ucentslide.htm

3) Describe problem: I have a question with the script that was supplied for the Translucent slideshow. My slideshow words when the images reside in the same folder as the page, how do I reference an image in a subfolder?

1) Script Title: Translucent slideshow Script

2) Script URL (on DD): http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...ucentslide.htm

3) Describe problem: This script is not showing my jpg file. What could be wrong with my jpg file that it is not showing? I receive a red x instead of the image.

Say the subfolder is named images and it is directly off of the folder with the page using this script in it (from the demo, additions red):

var slideshowcontent=new Array()
//Define slideshow contents: [image URL, OPTIONAL LINK, OPTIONAL LINK TARGET]
slideshowcontent[0]=["images/photo1.jpg", "http://www.cnn.com", "_new"]
slideshowcontent[1]=["images/photo2.jpg", "", ""]
slideshowcontent[2]=["images/photo3.jpg", "http://www.google.com", ""]

In short, just put the path in there as you would for the src attribute for any normal img tag on the page. The above example is of a relative path, absolute paths may also be used.

That is what I thought however when I put the path to that location I get the dredded red x when I preview the page. Why would that be?

[jscheuer1]

The images aren't there.

[jscheuer1]

In your script, make sure the path to and name of the image file is correct, including the use of upper and lower case letters.

There seems to be a problem with my jpg file. That is why I am getting the red x. However, I don't know what could be wrong with the file. I can open the file within MS paint, but when I add it to a page I get the red x.

Please post a link to the page on your site that contains the problematic code so we can check it out.

It does not seem to be the code but the jpg file. I have put 3 images in my slide show, 1 of the 3 images appear correctly, but the first two do not.

This one:

http://65.109.28.235/images/WelcomePageSlide/FGZ171.jpg

is a 404 file not found. It isn't on the server in that exact location with that exact name. Remember, upper and lower case matter on the web.

This one:

http://65.109.28.235/images/HC60AC.jpg

is there, has some kind of 'error' in its code under FF and IE, but displays OK in Opera. I'll see if I can make a 'good' copy of it for you.

This one:

http://65.109.28.235/images/HuebschLogo.bmp

is there, and is fine in Opera, IE, and FF.

Here's a good (web optimized) copy of the picture:
